Music theory nerds will like this
This summarizes a pre-modern conception of harmony that existed in the 18th century. Most professional musicians back then understood music in approximately this way. Our music theory with its concepts of the fundamental bass (the root of the chord), inversions (i.e. recognizing that 5/3, 6/3, 6/4 are the same chord because they share the same root), functional harmony, and using roman numerals to analyze music were still in their infancy.

Having graduated from my music program ten years ago, I haven't seen any of that stuff in a long time! Thanks TEGH. I really appreciate the modern ways we've developed to analyze music when I see stuff like that.
